Access Mental Health Services

Throughout the year as N.E.W. Academy Charter Schools continues to make connections with mental health service providers, we will share any contact information here. We recognize that emotional and mental health is as important as the physical health of our students, and we want to help our families gain information and access as desired.

School Campus Mental Health

School Mental Health professionals support positive student connections with peers, family, school and community to facilitate student development. They also facilitate the ability to successfully deal with problems, crises, or traumatic experiences. Furthermore, School Mental Health professionals foster resiliency – the ability to bounce back from challenges with a stronger sense of self-confidence and coping capacity – by promoting healthy relationships, self-reflection, and problem-solving skills to optimize school success. At NACP, we are fortunate to offer the services of our school psychologist, Sara Abronson. If you feel your child would benefit from meeting with her during the school week, please sign a counseling form available in our school office. You may also request a counseling form through your child’s teacher.

Luminarias Mental Health Services

Luminarias Counseling Services provides comprehensive mental health and emotional support for students at New Academy Canoga Park. Their trained counselors offer a safe, confidential space for children to express their feelings, develop coping strategies, and navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom.

Through individual and group counseling, we address a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, social skills, family changes, and academic pressures. Our goal is to foster emotional well-being, resilience, and positive relationships, ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed.
